Valentine to a Meeting Professional Silver Lining in a Downward Cycle for Careers? Jeff Price, New Experient President & CEO An Encouraging End to a Discouraging Year Not Invented Here: RSNA Bistro Concept Bonds Buyers and Sellers So Many Meetings and Events. So Little Staff. She’s first one in and last to leave, her mark is everywhere. But like a watchful angel, we seldom know she’s there. Attendees join the breakfast line and fill their cups with brew… While scarfing down the rolls and fruit, all ordered by guess who? The chairs are set, the handouts done, huge signs all point the way To breakout rooms, exhibit halls and sponsors of the day. She gets the luncheon served on time; presets the cheesecake too. So when the program runs too long, the meal still ends on cue. Convention done, the client smiles, attendees leave the hall. Another for the record books, and yes, she planned it all. The first one in and last to leave, as it that’s some big news. Forever calm and smiling through – thank God for comfy shoes! We’ve used the female pronoun throughout this love decree, But sometimes (as you’ve not doubt found), that meeting pro’s a he.

http://www.tradeshowweek.com/article/CA6713896.html? You’ve recently cut back on how many people you have to plan and manage all of your meetings and events. Or maybe the number of meetings and events you handle has increased. In any case, you’re faced with doing as much or more with less. Less people, less budget, less time. It’s time to look at outsourcing some or all of your meeting and event planning.
